"The spacer allows battery removal while mounted on most any tripod, however with my tripod head (Manfrotto 501HDV), you still have to remove the camera to change tapes.

"I just received this spacer today for my A1U and although well made, it only works with one of three tripods and head combinations (an old Bogen 3021, and that is when the camera is flipped 180 degrees from the control handles).
